I have spoken to several colleagues...
One may get back to cycle (her bike weight a tonne...but she'll get lighter tyres which should help a lot)
One is just too lazy (and he admits this) even though he's close to a fine route to work
Several have school runs (impossible to cycle ones...Belfast network is really hit and miss)
And two tried to cycle and nearly got knocked down (parked cars in the cycle zone)
So, what can one do...
...despite all this, the Belfast Bikes (rental bikes) and increased cycle lanes do mean I see a lot more cyclists. Change the environment and all that, easy and cheap biek access, better routes and things happen :)
